Cycling Around the World: Nicolai Bangsgaard. Global Triathlon Challenge

Guest Nicolai Bangsgaard is a Danish Anthropologist who has spent almost two decades discovering the world by human powered travel. In ​2006, ​he ​set ​out ​on ​a ​long ​distance ​bicycle ​tour ​that ​would ​span ​four ​years, ​taking ​him ​across ​six ​continents, ​pedalling ​his ​way ​through ​53 ​countries ​with ​a ​total ​distance ​of ​62,000km. But that by no means was the end of his adventures and since then he has kept exploring the world through slow travel.  I spoke with Nicolai when he had just arrived in Perth to undertaken leg 2 of his latest challenge which he calls the Global Triathlon.  Leg 1 involved a 20,000km cycle from Denmark to Singapore. Leg 2 will see Nicolai traverse Australia and New Zealand on a Kick Scooter.  For leg 3 he will be running across the US before returning back to two wheels in Portugal and cycling back to his home in Denmark.  I really enjoyed hearing Nicolai share his vast experiences and insights from the adventures he has undertaken so far.  I was able to understand his motivations to keep exploring the world in this manner and to also learn more about his current challenge too.You can follow Nicolai's adventures via his instagram account - @nicolaibangsgaard Find him on facebook via : Nicolai Bangsgaard and his personal website is  https://www.nicolaibangsgaard.dk/hjem/ Check out the Elkhorn Rack from Old Man Mountain Support the showBuy me a coffee!I’m an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:👉  CycPlus– ePumps (enter code STR for 5% off!)👉 Zorali 👉 Helinox 👉 Ombraz Follow us on Social Media!Instagram - @SeekTravelRideFacebook - Seek Travel RideYouTube - @SeekTravelRideSeek Travel Ride NewsletterLeave me a voicemail message Seek Travel Ride Music Playlist available now on both Spotify or Apple Music
